Friday February 6, 2009 Sore Again

New Muscles?

Yesterday I began to wonder... "Are there new muscles in there? Muscles I've never used before?" then.... "No, not new, just newly awakened!" I raised my arms to hug someone yesterday, and when I did - Yeow! - sore muscles (I think these would be my deltoids) that I didn't even know were sore! And then my legs... the things I changed in my weightlifting workout on Wednesday must have dug deep, because muscles were screaming in my upper legs last evening.

Quick Recovery
But today, they're already better. Hardly even sore. I believe that doing some yoga stretches and repeating exercises like triceps extensions without any weight, helped accelerate the healing. I never cease to be amazed at God's incredible design of the human body! I'm grateful for the fact that progress can be seen so quickly, even after years of neglect. Wow!

God's Grace, Physical AND Spiritual
This, to me, is an illustration of God's grace. How, once we repent, he is quick to accept us, wiping out our mistakes as if they never happened. Amazing grace! I also know that, once my body is in great shape, it will "forget" about the poor condition it once was in.

Ezekiel Bread and Organic Eggs
Talk about a power meal! Whole sprouted grain bread (complex carb), and God's perfect food: eggs from free-range, organic-fed hens. Gently cooked in organic coconut oil (medium chain fatty acids, lauric acid, lots of great nutrition, healthy omegas, stable when heated). The incredible egg, with complete proteins, lutein, Omega-3s, choline, yummy AND so good for ya! Add to that, healthy XS Energy Drinks (instead of soda pop), Nutrilite protein bars and shakes, and - eating well gets easier and easier!

Victory! I can taste it already!
